It
is
well
known
that
Rajinikanth
will
be
seen
in
dual
roles
in
his
upcoming
film
Lingaa
and
that
the
movie
has
two
era's,
pre-independence
and
post-independence.
While
Santhanam
is
set
to
play
Rajinikanth's
friend
after
independence,
comic
actor
Karunakaran
will
be
seen
playing
his
designated
role
in
the
pre-independence
era.
Similarly,
it
was
earlier
said
that
Sonakshi
Sinha
will
be
paired
up
with
today's
Rajinikanth
and
Anushka
to
don
a
pre-independence
woman's
role.
But,
the
latest
news
turned
out
to
be
the
exact
opposite
with
Anushka
pairing
up
with
post-independence
Rajinikanth
and
Sonakshi
pairing
up
with
pre-independence
Rajinikanth.
Since
today's
Rajinikanth
will
have
more
screen
space,
it
is
being
said
that
Anushka
will
have
more
screen
space
than
Sonakshi.
Also,
having
managed
to
keep
everything
under
wraps
so
far,
Anushka
has
opened
up
about
her
role
in
the
film
after
a
few
details
were
leaked
about
the
movie.
She
has
also
said
that
Rajinikanth
was
impressed
with
her
acting
skills
and
praised
her
a
lot
during
the
shoot
of
the
movie.
Meanwhile,
an
elevated
Sonakshi
has
tweeted,
"It's
time
to
sing
and
dance...
In
Tamil!!
Shooting
the
last
song
for
Lingaa,
royal
and
grand."
